Spalding High School named one of the top schools in region

Spalding High School has been ranked the sixth best secondary school in the East Midlands by a national newspaper.

The Sunday Times’ list of top schools ranks every school in the country.

Its 33rd edition, sees Spalding High School 235th out of over 2,000 secondary schools and sixth regionally.

The King’s School in Grantham was named the top school in the East Midlands with Bourne Grammar School, part of the South Lincolnshire Academies Trust which also oversees Spalding Academy and Cowley Academy in Donington, placed third.

Helen Davies, editor of The Sunday Times Parent Power Guide, said: “The educational landscape is testing – budget challenges, rising student mental health issues, special educational needs and an increasingly uncertain future.

“But there is also so much to celebrate from the dedication of teachers who are finding ever more innovative and impactful ways to enrich their students and give them the very best start in life.

“As well as celebrating the academic excellence of the top schools it is uplifting to see how they are shaping their students to be ready for the 21st century, and instilling a lifelong love of learning.”
